@ACraigL@studerc It’s just not built to handle all the digits. So when it says “94:84” (and ticks off a “second” every 10 seconds), it really means “948:40”. Or nearly 16 hours. Which will be midnight EDT — the regular time.
Well, this was a nice treat. Currently fighting COVID on top of an existing lung infection. Life is pretty brutal right now.
But…

@eggsterminate@iutami Thanks. Not going to lie, it does suck. Luckily, all my numbers are just above the point that I’d need to be in the hospital. Not by much, but they are. I started on meds the day after symptoms hit and I tested positive. So, here’s hoping things stay that way. But it is damn sure creepy as hell having to track everything and have a bag packed ready to go to the hospital if things turn.
@plymouthdave It’s a Mehrathon today (that countdown clock is winding down to when the next item goes on sale). No guarantee that there will be more irks for sale, but typically they scatter them for sale randomly over the course of the day. That’s how they keep you hooked and watching the clock!
Wtf… Refreshed the page from the previous “too late” note to get a “sold out” immediately. Confused me long enough that when I refreshed it again and saw that it WAS for sale I forgot to hit the captcha button…heavy sigh…
I had the app open and chrome open to meh.com. Unfortunately I opted to watch the app. The app never updated to the new irk at 7am cst. Chrome did but I missed the irk.
The first refresh loaded the ‘there are no more’ page, but the next refresh came through with the buy button … Though I now wonder if each timer will be another batch
@eggsterminate@rhcurry02 But the trick is that it’s not displaying the last digit (the seconds). And the colon is in the wrong spot.
So the “94:23” it’s showing me right now should actually display as “942:30”
@xobzoo No, the timer is correct! It doesn’t mean that you need to check back at 9:42:30, it means that the next item will go on sale in 94 minutes and 23 seconds. That said, not sure why the seconds aren’t uploading; that seems to be a glitch.
I set the alarm and was waiting for 8 but it said sold out before it even showed available! I guess my internet is too slow.bit would be nice if they gave MVP an advantage on one of these.
I get advance notifications from FedEx for packages. Only thing I’ve ordered lately that should be coming from them is this IRK and I just got a notification that a shipment was created. Could be!
@jeffalexander that happened to me once and FedEx customer service said to wait a day or two. They said sometimes drivers pre-mark the item as delivered before they actually deliver it. WTF?! But I did receive the item the next day…did not expect to, but did.
@cbilyak@jeffalexander It appears that sometimes a handler at a depot will hit the wrong key on an entire load, too. And they don’t seem to have an Undo in their system for Obvious sdnʞɔnℲ.
Definitely meh
Conditioner was open and leaked. 3x PJs are only about 5 sized too big. Blue light readers make me dizzy. Maybe I can sell the charging station.
My daughter can use the styler, so that’s worth the $5 price tag.

I thought the membership thing was supposed to help bypass the robot check.
@LaserEyes - You would think so! GAH! Bah - Humbug!
Oh well sold out. Page didn’t load until it was. Sob.
In with the morning crew.

Captchas suck
As a fellow robot, I understand your pain.

@boc
Good for you!
I’ll be trying again, and again, and AGAIN…
Let the games begin!
Fuck.
Well looks like we get a shot every 120 minutes or so today, one wild “experiment”
@studerc I don’t know. That countdown clock seems pretty wonky.
@studerc
GOOD! Looks like I’ll be needing a few more tries!
@ACraigL pretty sure its the 2 hour clock. It has a strange countdown until it gets to the point of actually being able to count down.
@ACraigL @studerc It’s just not built to handle all the digits. So when it says “94:84” (and ticks off a “second” every 10 seconds), it really means “948:40”. Or nearly 16 hours. Which will be midnight EDT — the regular time.
@studerc @xobzoo So the mehrathon is actually tomorrow?

Woke up early and beat the captcha…worth it.

Greetings, new robot friend. In time you will come to accept your robotic ways.

@Bingo Feel better!!
@Bingo That sounds like an absolute nightmare. Hope you feel better soon!
@eggsterminate @iutami Thanks. Not going to lie, it does suck. Luckily, all my numbers are just above the point that I’d need to be in the hospital. Not by much, but they are.

Healing prayers and lots of love coming your way. Feel better!
Had irk in checkout but sold out - oh well
See you at 4
@somf69 It doesn’t say there are some at 4, does it?

‘Oh, it’s a Meh-rathon! Let me click the Meh button and sure, let’s hit buy. I got the midnight one, they won’t let me buy two in a da–’
/giphy concerned-ludicrous-seashore
[Edit] Oops, I hit edit, but that first gif was perfect.
@LexPendragon You’re not suppose to buy two. Unless it’s a special event. Honor system.
@LexPendragon Just a heads up that this second order might end up getting cancelled. Typically, you aren’t allowed to get more than one irk per event.
@eggsterminate @LexPendragon
Hmm… “In the spirit of experimentation, you can still buy this IRK even if you bought one earlier (but why would you?)”
@sunnysideup22 I know I’ve tried and failed to get a second one, so I don’t think that there is an ‘Honor System’ for that.
@eggsterminate @reedmo I just saw that, after thinking ‘Why would I pay twice as much?’ when I literally just paid twice as much.
I also wasn’t in front of my computer for this one so I am holding at two.
@reedmo Yeah… Looks like they’ve changed the rules for this one!
I clicked buy and it locked up for few seconds. Argh.
They don’t do afternoon releases?
@plymouthdave It’s a Mehrathon today (that countdown clock is winding down to when the next item goes on sale). No guarantee that there will be more irks for sale, but typically they scatter them for sale randomly over the course of the day. That’s how they keep you hooked and watching the clock!
Well alright then.
@TonyKuroi don’t feel bad, you aren’t alone/ same here as 247 hit buy but only 200 irks for sale. Same old same old
Wtf… Refreshed the page from the previous “too late” note to get a “sold out” immediately. Confused me long enough that when I refreshed it again and saw that it WAS for sale I forgot to hit the captcha button…heavy sigh…
You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.
I had the app open and chrome open to meh.com. Unfortunately I opted to watch the app. The app never updated to the new irk at 7am cst. Chrome did but I missed the irk.
@Stumpy91 Boo!! Chrome was slow to reload too, but somehow I managed to snag one.
I got one!!!
YAY!
/giphy taxing-fastest-swordfish
A great way to start the day!!
/giphy ungainly-brassy-feta
Why do I pay a membership fee for this?
@sunnysideup22 well I’m a VMP and never get anything for my money each month —-
Yay!!!
/giphy atrocious-necessary-beef

Because that’s a totally appropriate description for the purchase of an IRK? Riiight.
hurray that it was tractors and not hills!
/giphy beaming-eccentric-quartz
The first refresh loaded the ‘there are no more’ page, but the next refresh came through with the buy button … Though I now wonder if each timer will be another batch
That’s a strange countdown clock…
Anyways.
/giphy notorious-straight-parakeet
Does anyone want to figure out what the clock means? I know some of you are smart out there.
@rhcurry02 It refers to the amount of time remaining before the next item in the Mehrathon goes on sale.
@eggsterminate @rhcurry02 The timer is gone now. Left with a note: “Check back at 8:30am ET for more frustration”
@eggsterminate @WUZUP1998
Thanks - the times were way off earlier and I was trying to set an alarm
@eggsterminate @rhcurry02 But the trick is that it’s not displaying the last digit (the seconds). And the colon is in the wrong spot.
So the “94:23” it’s showing me right now should actually display as “942:30”
@xobzoo No, the timer is correct! It doesn’t mean that you need to check back at 9:42:30, it means that the next item will go on sale in 94 minutes and 23 seconds. That said, not sure why the seconds aren’t uploading; that seems to be a glitch.
My first IRK! Been trying for years.
@wootcat Good for you. Maybe today will be my day. no BoCs or IRK for me since 2006 and counting…
I set the alarm and was waiting for 8 but it said sold out before it even showed available! I guess my internet is too slow.bit would be nice if they gave MVP an advantage on one of these.
@doxeelady They may give VMP priority.
I get advance notifications from FedEx for packages. Only thing I’ve ordered lately that should be coming from them is this IRK and I just got a notification that a shipment was created. Could be!
@Bingo Check the order status in your account, from the tab up top.
@Bingo @werehatrack My 5 buck IRK is on its way. I’m very surprised.
I didn’t even get mine! FedEx says they delivered, but of course they didn’t!
FedEx is the absolute worst
@jeffalexander that happened to me once and FedEx customer service said to wait a day or two. They said sometimes drivers pre-mark the item as delivered before they actually deliver it. WTF?! But I did receive the item the next day…did not expect to, but did.
